I need to move files back to dropbox from the vault - the work around did not work.

    I had the same issue - downloaded the files from the Vault and uploaded them to regular Dropbox - it works, takes a few minutes but got my files back in working order.

I put my folders into the vault, and now I realize that I want many of them back out again. Mostly I need them out so that I can work on them with apps. I regret jumping into Vault without being more careful. My working files are now in a place where I can't work on them. What am I missing?

How can I get my folders or files out of the Vault?

I want to move a file from my vault to work with it and then return it to vault, having no luck transferring it back into my normal dropbox😔

    Hey there Uska, thanks for joining us on this discussion. 

     

    Could you let us know what happens when you click on the ellipsis (...) button that should appear next to the file you want to move out?

     

    Do you get any error messages? 

     

    Let us know what you find, cheers!
